I wish every woman would love herself and embrace what she was given naturally.

Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.

You have to stand for what you believe in and sometimes you have to stand alone.

Life is so much bigger, grander, higher, and wider than we allow ourselves to think.

I decided early on that I was going to put on my crown and rule my world by acting right and treating myself like a queen.

I don’t want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model.

We still need to have one beautiful lady standing there.

When You've lost it all....thats when you realize that Life is Beautiful.

He groaned slightly and winced like Prometheus watching his vulture dropping in for lunch.

The root of oppression is the loss of memory.

I understood once I held a baby in my arms, why some people have the need to keep having them.

Yes, there are circumstances where a bloody suppression is justifiable and justified.
